Abstract

A cw x-ray generator was used as a preionizer for a pulsed-discharge uv N₂/SF₆ laser. We revealed experimentally that cw x radiation was effective for preionization of a N₂ laser discharge. We observed that the N₂ laser energy increased linearly with increasing initial electron number density generated by a cw x-ray preionizer when the electron number density was below 6×10⁷ cm^-3 and the input energy loading was kept at 35 J/l. In the case of x-ray illumination, the N₂ laser energy increased by a factor of 12 over that of pure N ₂ gas when SF₆ was added.
